The girls were playing with our Brio trainset but it was becoming too much work for me to prevent Calvin from destroying their track creations. So I got out a rarely used electronic toy (it's like an oversized calculator with sound effects) to distract Calvin. It worked for a minute, but the girls were so envious of the toy that they volunteered to let Calvin play with (aka destroy) their train tracks if they could take turns together on the toy. Now the girls are sitting peacefully talking to each other on the couch while they play with the calculator, and Calvin is a mini Godzilla to the small train village in our living room, but everyone is happy so okay.
Clara helped me make some microwave potatoes. I showed her how to break the eyes off the potato and rinse it, and then how to get it out of the microwave with a fork instead of oven mitts. She was excited to add the salt and pepper and cheese and to get a subsequent potato out of the microwave herself with her own fork. Once the first one was ready, she ate it happily. I said I was glad she liked it because potatoes are some of my all-time favorite food and she said they are her favorite food too. She paused for a second and added, "I love our home." ❤️
